Default Touch up paint in GTA?

Other then dealers - is there anywhere else to get Porsche touch up paint? I've got the code (92U) and colour (Artic Silver Metallic) but other then ordering through a dealer or online from the US is there a local vendor? The US online option was stupid; $9.95 US plus a $14.00 minimum fee to UPS which I refuse to pay!!

3 times now I have gone to body shops to ask and the guy has said hold on while he mixes a bit up and gives it to me free. I find most body shops good with this stuff. Try to go to a shop that uses glasurit paints.

There is a paint shop in downtown TO that will match the paint in an aerosal can. Just bring the paint code.I think a can was $25.

I wouldn't want to paint the car with it however I painted my engine bay. When I had my car re-painted (with colour change) I left the engine area alone. When I removed the engine to re-build the engine I painted the engine bay using the aerosal cans.
I'm happy with the results.
